GWD 4-7一道怪题

Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long.  In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.

 

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

 

 

1. Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.
2. Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores.
3. At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.
4. Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.
5. Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.

答案B

以下仅供参考

题目的结果：

Stores in Goreville’s central close, because the dicount store Spendless just opened,

but new stores will open even Spendless is such a competitor

店关了因为打折的Spendless开了，但是新店会开张，门面不会空着。

原因：

some stores closed becasue the nondisount store Colson's opened,

but new store always opens at the location where the store closed.

不打折的Colson's 开装了，旁边的店关了，但是空着的门面总是给新店占了

B的意思是很多因为Spendless而关掉的店都是打折的，

既然打了折的店还是不能跟Spendless媲美，不打折的店也不能跟Colson's媲美，那谁还会来做生意赔本，当然门面会闲着罗

A 的意思是在Speedless开庄后，顾客会在Colson买少一点， （加强在Speedless旁开店的可能）

C 的意思是够物中心的店比以前多。（多店不等于没生意，削弱不了开店的可能）

D 是说人口在涨. （这个帮助不大，人口长了，钱少了，也不会买东西的）

E 的意思是很多购物中心的店卖的东西与C and S 不同。（这个答案看来有点像答案，但B 更有逻辑）

楼主的解释值得商榷

首先对B的翻译就是不准确的。B应该解释为在C开张后,倒掉店面都被折扣店占据了。跟Spendless无关

整个题目是个错误类比的例子，论据是C（非折扣店）把旁边店挤垮了，但又有新店冲上来。用以证明在

ｓｐｅｎｄｌｅｓｓ挤垮其它店后还有新店冲上来。B答案提出了，指出了两个情况最大的不同，就是C

挤垮了的店面是被折扣店重新占据并开业的。这就告诉我们，不是哪个店空了都可以有人补上的，要看

跟谁竞争。原来C是非折扣店，所以旁边有铺位后折扣店补进去。（因为折扣店有优势），而现在的情况

是ｓｐｅｎｄｌｅｓｓ本身就是折扣店，他旁边空出来的新店就不会有那么多折扣店补上来了。很可能

空着，WEAKEN。
